[QUOTE="Williamsv, post: 1227760, member: 22323"] I am really getting frustrated with these evil birds. Yesterday morning two small calves were laying a short distance away from the cows. At ten o'clock I saw one flying over checking them out. In a minute more than I could count had joined in. After they saw the calves were not newborns they flew on off. If they had been newborns, they would have killed both of them. Every morning around ten they start checking the cattle in both pastures. We have cows in both looking to calve any time now. So our mornings are spent guarding the cows. My husband goes back around two to check again. We both go back around 5:30. This is getting old. Black vultures are worse than they were last year. I had to just about stop my car this afternoon to keep some from flying into it as they did not want to stop eating their road kill. If I had not been afraid of hurting my SUV, I would have killed them right there. I was hoping a fast log truck that travels the road every day would come and wipe some out. I am afraid not to be checking every morning early because they will move in before you know it ready to attack. I hate to lose a calf to them. We almost lost two last year. Got there just in time.
